‘Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that’s when you’re most beautiful.’
“I will try to do as you have said Lora.” The unknown voice said.
“Better.” Lora replied rudely and went to the bathroom conjoined with her bedroom for a bath.
The bathroom has a gleaming granite counter tops, walnut framed mirrors, jacuzzi tub, walk in shower room with over-sized shower head, fluffy towels neatly arranged, tile floor with under-floor heating, fluffy bath mat, wicker laundry basket. The bathroom can fit in 20 people and the ceiling is gold with little crystal.
Lora quickly took her bath and came out from the bathroom. She changed into another set of a beautiful mini gown that hug out her hips.
Done with her makeup that took her longer than usual, she look at herself on the mirror and started praising her beauty. She normally do her makeup herself whenever she is home and not going anywhere.
And of course, she always dressed as if she was going out which she wasn’t.
She went over to her double size bed and lay on it, picking up her t. v. remote in her bed, she on the T. v. and change it to her best channel. The mask face of Ora popped on the T. v. as she dance. Lora had always wish to make friends with Ora and hope they meet one day, Ora is rich like her and they would make a great friends.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Not everyone knows about Nora’s blindness, they wouldn’t have believe, because the lady they normally see on T. v. and on live stage doesn’t do as someone blind.
Soon Lora slept off day dreaming about Paul Mirror.

Valtan City:
Robert pushed his empty plate away from him as a maid quickly came to take the plate away from the glass table.
“Son this is the most delicious meal I have ever tasted. Again, your cooking remains me of how proud I am to have you as a son.” Robert Mirror praise his son meal as he just finish eating a very hot delicious meal prepared by him.
“Thank you dad.”Paul smiled at him and went back to his game he was playing from his IPhone.
“You’re welcome son. Anyway, the Viper’s called, they said you didn’t get the drugs as promised.”
“Yeah dad I couldn’t make it to to the deadline, I will call them and assure them that their cargo will get to them before the week runs by.”
“Better, I don’t want this to cause an issue between them and us.” Robert told his son. “How was the meeting with the Russian Mafia?”
“It went well, he agreed to our terms.” Paul replied.
Robert nodded and sent a smile across to him before he stood up and left the dinning table.

Floda:
David drove into a mansion. This was his family second house whenever he and his father visit Floda. Before he use to answer the greetings throw at him by the gateman but not today, today Ora has vexed him, he was livid. He entered the house and greeted his father when he saw him reading a newspaper in the parlour. He sat down opposite his father and stared at him.
Mark wasn’t surprised when he saw David face, this wasn’t the first time he had seen him angry. Closing his newspaper, he sigh.
“What is it son? Who provoked you?”
“Ora.” David said simply.
Mark eyebrows raised. “Ora provoked you? How? What did she do?”
“I asked her out, to be mine Dad but she refused, giving me stupid excuses on why she can’t date me.”
“Really? She said all that?” Mark asked. “What exactly did she say was her excuses?”
“Philip.”
“The dead Philip or is it another one?”
“The Philip you and I know, the one who died some years ago. Ora told me that she wasn’t interested in me because she is still in love with Philip, in fact she believe that Philip is not dead.” David explained angrily.
“Oh I see, but I thought you and Lora are an item what changed?”
“Love dad, I don’t love Lora again, I tried but I couldn’t find myself loving her the way I use too.”
“Lora would be so angry if you tell her that you don’t fancy her anymore.”
“I know that dad that’s why I haven’t told her yet.” David said and stood up to go and meet his father, he sat down beside him and grab his both hands into his. “Dad, you have to do something that will bring Ora to me, then I she will be forced to love me.” David said.
“What do you want me to do, you know I don’t like seeing a frown on my only son face.”
“I need you to lie or convince Ora to come down to Casala for a ballet dancing show, please dad I know you can do that.” David pleaded. If his father didn’t agree, he is calling Paul as planned.
“Okay, that will be easy, I will fake a show and give Kate a fake banner for the show that would take hold in Casala, at least that will make her believe and allow Ora to come down to Casala.”
“Thank you dad, I know I can always count on you.” David said in a elated voice and hug his father.
“Happy now son?” Mark asked, David nodded his head to signify how happy he was. He left the parlour to his room doing a victory dance as he goes.

Nora was sleeping in her room when Mark visited Kate and told her about his next show that will be holding at Casala and he would want Ora to be there. “People from the nearby country will be coming to see Ora dance, you know how famous she is and her nickname.” Mark lies flow from his mouth with ease, he was able to convince Kate.
“Well, I don’t have a say here Mark. I will have to talk to my granddaughter to see if she will agree to go with you to Casala.” Kate said going through the little banner Mark has given her, the date for the show was two days away.
“Thank you Mrs Kate, this would be our last show together, she knows our contract is coming to an end.” Mark told her.
They discussed some other things before he left.
Later that night…
Kate was seen sitting down with Nora on her bed. She had came to bid her granddaughter goodnight and tell her about Mark visit.
“Nora are you sure you want to go to Casala? If you are not so sure, I can tell Mark you aren’t going or lie that you are seriously sick. Don’t forget this is Casala we’re talking about, where they live.” Kate said.
“Don’t worry about me grandma, they won’t even recognize me because of the mask I do wear when I want to appear on stage, and besides, I won’t be going alone, Craig will come with me.” Nora told her grandmother through her sign.
“I am only scared if Lora gets to know about you. Who you truly are.” Kate had sometime ago open up to Nora about the lie Lora wrote announcing to the whole world that Nora killed herself.
“Nothing will happen if Lora gets to see me, fine. I am just going for a show and not seeing them. This is my last show with Mark, once the show ends, I and Craig would enter the next flight coming to Floda.”
“Okay, I can see that you have already made up your mind to go. I will call Mark to inform him that you have agreed.” Kate told her before kissing Nora’s forehead. “Good night my dear.” Kate added before she left her room.

Valtan:
“Son I know this is suddenly but the Hawks and I spoke a few minutes ago on the phone. They need our help in moving their drugs to their hideout and since I am too old for that, I told them that you will be coming instead, and they are going to pay us a huge amount of money.” Robert said as he sat on Paul’s bed.
Paul was preparing to go to sleep.
“Okay dad, but what about the Viper’s and the company?”
“I will settle them, and don’t worry about the company.”
“So when will I be going?”
“In two days time.” Robert told him. “You have to be careful when you get to that place Paul, cops are everywhere.”
“That is no problem dad, by the way, were exactly am I going too?”
“Casala son, the Hawks are in Casala City.”
